Top 5 Filming Locations in Madagascar
Antananarivo
Antananarivo, also known as Tana, is the largest city and capital of Madagascar. With its royal palace, historic buildings, statues, and monuments, the city is a treasure trove of history and culture. If your film production requires a historical setting, Antananarivo should be at the top of your list of potential shooting locations.
Morondava
Morondava is famous for its spectacular Avenue of Baobabs, which are giant baobab trees that have been standing for over 800 years. They are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived in the area. As the country’s population grew and the forests were cut down, the locals preserved the baobab trees for religious reasons. This location would be perfect for any film or documentary seeking a spectacular sight of the baobab trees.
Nosy Iranja
Nosy Iranja is a two-part island connected by a 2-kilometer-long sandy causeway. The island is a nature reserve that is home to sea turtles and palm crabs. Its sandy beaches and turquoise blue ocean make it a paradise for visitors. This location would be ideal for films with a comedic, vacation, family, or documentary theme.
Mahajanga
Mahajanga is a city located in the northwestern part of Madagascar and is also a significant seaport, second only to Toamasina. In addition to its bustling port, Mahajanga boasts stunning beaches along the coast. If your film is seeking beautiful seascapes or beach scenes, Mahajanga is definitely worth considering.
Cirque Rouge
Located outside Mahajanga, the Cirque Rouge is a canyon or lunar landscape that boasts stunning colors and rock formations that light up in all their splendor under the effect of the sun. Filming your production in this unique location would add a visually striking element to your film, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Madagascar’s landscapes.
